Enchanted By Those Magnificent Ruins:The legebd of Bhangarh by Rajashree Srivastava

Have you ever thought of falling in love with a ghost? No? Nor did 28 years old Maer Cooper; the narcissist Metro Editor of New York Daily. Only her lover is back from 16th century.

For Maer, it all started after she got an unexpected call from her long-estranged sister; Saher back from India. “DO NOT COME TO INDIA, EVEN IF I DIE” She screamed. Before Maer could comprehend what was it all about, the line on the other side went dead.
What followed after that call were these erratic dreams set in an unknown realm of sterile infinite white where she first saw him; Rana, the ghost of a mysterious Rajput warrior in his black knightly attire surmounting the blindingly white background. Maer immediately found herself drawn towards him like a moth to a flame.
To know the truth about this ghost she loves and to find her missing sister Maer must face the unearthly forces and her worst fears.
A story that revolves around the legend of Bhangarh; the haunted ruins of India and its unfortunate yet beautiful princess Ratnavati, only, the story is retold in a totally unexpected way.
A historical mystery, a cursed city and a love-story of a mortal falling in love with the dead.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
It was a visit to Bhangarh, the most haunted place in India that inspired me. A legend of a curse surrounds every story that was told about this city that–allegedly–ruined within a night. I was "Enchanted" by this ruin and the next moment I entered into a writer's trance.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The protagonist Maer was a result of "ideal self" imaginations. while a few characters such as Singhia, Ratnavati, Purohitji are real; those who once had been living and breathing until the city perished mysteriously.The character; the ghost Rana, he was created out of mischief and pathological day dreaming. Facts mixed with Fiction created all the characters.
